The process of convincing Cang Qing Sword was surprisingly smooth.
Of course, Phoebus felt that Asker was easy to talk to, maybe because Asker himself had planned to lead the team to participate in this change from the beginning.
Unlike other mercenary groups that can't afford to do anything early, Asker's top priority from the beginning to the end is how to quickly improve the combat capabilities of team members.
The sudden change of the undead is a rare opportunity for experience.
Since the night watchman had extended the invitation, it was time to negotiate terms.
After some bargaining, the Blue Sword Mercenary Group obtained the status of honorary members of the Night Watch.
With this identity, when you encounter other Night Watch branches in other parts of the world in the future, you will also have the same permission to trade without having to go through layers of approval again.
Of course, this status still needs to be applied for and approved by the headquarters, but Phoebus has already guaranteed it. Basically, as long as it is submitted, it will be approved.
After all, the headquarters has no idea who the Cang Qing Sword mercenary group is, and how much contribution it has made in this undead change - it's not like our Eastern branch just does whatever it says.
"By the way." Phoebus remembered another thing and reminded, "Before going to the mutation center, you need to undergo a physical examination first."
"Physical examination?" Nora asked in confusion.
"The breath of the three major sub-planes is different from that of the main plane." Phoebus explained, "This kind of breath will pollute your mental body, causing the main reason to be negatively affected."
"Take the underworld as an example. When we humans are in the underworld, we will inevitably have depression. This phenomenon will become more and more obvious as time goes by."
"When depression reaches a certain level, you will fall into a semi-crazy state and lose control of your mind. Therefore, all people who enter the underworld must take antidepressants regularly."
"The purpose of the physical examination is to determine the basic level of 5-hydroxytryptamine in your body, and to confirm whether you will have an allergic reaction to antidepressants."
"Eh? I remember 5-hydroxytryptamine, isn't it the scientific name of serotonin?" Nora suddenly reacted.
Medea immediately pricked up her ears because serotonin happened to be an ingredient in her Conspiracy I formula.
"Well, I don't know much about medicine, but I heard that one of the effects of the underworld on the human body is disorders of serotonin concentration." Phibes said, "So corresponding antidepressants are essential."
So Aske took the person for a physical examination.
If it were another hospital, he might still worry about whether genetic information would be leaked. After all, this is not a purely extraordinary world. Someone can take your blood sample and tinker with it in the laboratory for a long time, and they can analyze and guess you.
Approximately sequential.
But you can rest assured when facing the Night Watch. As one of the few extraordinary organizations that are kind and lawful, the blood samples collected by the Night Watch are open and transparent from testing to destruction, and will never retain any of your genetic information.
Of course, most foreign mercenaries don't care about this.
The inspection report came out quickly and was placed in a special sealed document bag, which the girls picked up in order of the test. Since it was an anonymous test, only the person who received the sealed bag could see the results.
However, this does not prevent the girls from opening the documents and looking at them, just like female high school students who are keen on doing psychological tests on each other.
"Why is your physical and mental strength relatively balanced, while mine is heavily weighted towards physical strength?" Hidliefa glanced at Eleanor's physical examination report and said in confusion.
"I don't know." Of course Eleanor knew that this was because of "Will I" and said jokingly, "Maybe this mental power is affected by my innate IQ."
"Doesn't that mean I'm born stupid?" Hildrifa was horrified. She quickly took the report to the captain, her tone was anxious and crying, "Asker! Asker!! You can see that this result is certain.
It was a mistake..."
Asik fell into speechless silence after hearing what she said:…………
Mental strength has nothing to do with IQ itself, but Eleanor's evaluation of you is subtly just right.
He read all the girls' reports.
Generally speaking, thanks to several previous large-scale battles, everyone's physical attributes are higher than those of normal extraordinary beings at the same level.
Medea, Nora, and Theodora are more spiritual, because their bloodline is mainly based on the legal system.
Sidrifa focuses on physical strength, just because she is level 1. The Titan bloodline will have frost and thunder sequences in the future, which will rebalance her attributes.
The remaining members basically have a balanced development of physical and mental strength, which is also the build characteristic of most players in the previous life.
In the words of the players, physical strength is suitable for recklessness and violent attacks; mental strength is suitable for dogs and yin people.
If you are blindly reckless, you will be tricked to death by someone using a dog to trick you if you are not careful.
If you just act like a dog, it's easy for you to show off all over the place, and you'll end up being punched through.
Being reckless and following the dog is the truly stable way of playing.
Even his own bloodline of weapon masters, known for their fierce tiger-like operation and past reckless style, would inevitably have to absorb the "tactics" and "intuition" sequences to improve their resistance to sneak attacks.
While he was thinking silently, Peggy was also quietly staring at his side face.
Her right hand silently held her physical examination report.
The last page, which Asker had not seen, contained special test results.
"The 5-hydroxytryptamine content is too low, and further specialized identification is recommended."
Everyone else's results were normal, but she was the only one with abnormalities.
The team is about to set off. If Asker sees the abnormal results of the physical examination, she may be left alone in the camp behind.
Can't let him know.
She could never let this happen.
………………
A few hours later, the team of night watch knights had approached the bottom of the canopy of the undead.
The initial team consisted of more than 800 elite knights from the Holy Sun, Silver Moon, and Morning Star.
Whenever the undead are encountered while advancing, the large team will separate a special team of knights to intercept them to ensure that the remaining people can continue to move forward.
If you look down from the sky, you can see them using such sharp knife tactics to advance towards the center of the undead mutation at full speed without stopping.
When they were about to reach the edge of the sky, everyone was attacked by a wave of undead banshees.
"We're taking the first step." Ellowen, the commander-in-chief of the Silver Moon Knights, raised his rifle and shouted loudly as he rushed forward.
"Silver Moon Knights who are keeping watch, charge with me!"
A dozen power armor knights, armed with firearms, guarded Ms. Erowan from the wings while she was activating her abilities.
The ocean of light rushed towards the group of banshees like a tide, and the black energy around the undead quickly evaporated into the air like dry ice.
This Ms. Elowan is already a Level 5 "Death Crusader". The extraordinary ability of "Light II" she possesses is the nemesis of all undead.
After being separated from the Silver Moon Knights, there were only twenty Holy Sun Knights left in the team, all of whom were the strongest elite among the Night Watch Knights.
Leading them were His Excellency Blaise, the Commander of the Eastern Legion of the Night Watch, and Colmer and Phoebus, the Knight Commanders of the Holy Sun and Morning Star.
And all the members of the Cang Qing Sword mercenary group.
"Ahead is the canopy of the undead. Everyone should take antidepressants at the standard dose immediately!" Bryce gave the order.
Everyone took out the medicine and water they had with them and drank it according to the pre-prepared portion.
"I suddenly feel energetic." Hidrifa said, moving her arms.
"That's just the placebo effect, it's your psychological effect." Nora said with a smile, "Drugs are not absorbed that fast."
Peggy walked behind the team, feeling increasingly uneasy.
The medicine had no effect on her, her limbs began to feel heavy, and a deep sadness took over her consciousness.
Soon, she could barely see the scene in front of her because tears had blurred her eyes.
She couldn't control the sadness in her heart, and tears were sliding down her cheeks uncontrollably.
Two figures vaguely appeared in front of them.
Was it Aske? She tried to open her eyes wide and saw clearly that it was her deceased father and mother.
"Peggy, come here quickly." Her mother waved to her with a kind expression.
"Why are you crying like this? Girls can't be too delicate." The father said in a majestic tone, but his eyes revealed obvious love.
For a moment, Paige felt a sense of trance surprise, as if her parents had never died that day and were still with her in her life.
However, as a level 2 transcendent, her spirituality quickly returned to normal.
No, they are not real.
My parents... are dead.
The surrounding light has dimmed, and Peggy, who has regained her senses, can only rely on memory to determine the direction.
If I remember correctly, I should have stopped just now.
Then, Aske and the others should be right in front.
But the two phantoms disguised as her parents were also waving at her from the front, tempting her to come over.
Peggy could not move forward and did not dare to run in other directions. She could only stay in place in fear and scream miserably while crying uncontrollably.
"Ask!" She folded her arms, trembling like an abandoned baby animal, and screamed with all her strength, "Ask! Ask!!!"
"What's wrong?!" Just when she was about to fall into the abyss of despair, Asik's long-lost voice finally rang out, appearing in her dark world like a beam of sunshine that penetrated the clouds.
"Asker!" Peggy grabbed his arm hard, as if all her strength was quickly recovering, "Did you come back to me after hearing my cry?"
"Shouting?" Ask asked strangely, "No, I didn't hear any sound, I just noticed that you fell behind. When I turned back, I saw you kneeling on the ground crying. Didn't you take the antidepressant?
"
"I ate it." Peggy said with some guilt, "It just didn't seem to be of any use."
"Let's go back quickly." Ask said calmly.
The phantoms of Peggy's parents that were originally troubling her in the front have disappeared without a trace, as if they had never appeared.
The two continued to walk forward. Peggy hugged Asker's arm and asked cautiously:
"Are you really Ask?"
"Yes." Ask said, "Do you need me to prove it?"
"Then tell me." Peggy thought for a moment and said, "Where was the first place we met?"
"Cemetery," Aske replied.
Paige hummed, feeling that her cold heart finally felt warm.
"That's not right." Ask suddenly stopped.
"With our current forward speed, we should have caught up with them long ago, but there is not even a sound around." He fiddled with the radio earphones, "No contact signal was received, and the psychic communication was silent."
